I passed this place a hundred times and didn't go in because I thought it was a high-end restaurant. But my son wanted to go, and as it turns out, it's a phenomenal international street food restaurant! What??! I had the Singapore Curry even though it has tofu in it (which i don't like), and my son had the Schnitzel - both delicious, I even liked the tofu! We also tried the chicken satay skewers and the Rangoon dip, which were both fabulous. I had a mocktail called 50 shades of earl grey that was divine. Service was quick, staff friendly, and the place was clean. Will definitely go back!

We really liked this place! The pork and chicken tacos were really good, as well as the wonton dip appetizer, and my gin blueberry cocktail was delicious too! I would come back:)

DIVINE! And yes, I meant to do that on all caps. Do yourself a favor and stop in if you can. I'm only in town once a year for a conference, but if they're open, I'll only eat here. It's the most delicious international street food outside the actual street where it comes from. This review is very long overdue as I've been here for lunch and dinner probably a dozen times now, but I guess I can just combine all my experiences into one. This time, I had the poke bowl (salmon, tuna was 86) for lunch, and for dinner, the spicy Thai soup, kapusta burger, and elephant's ear for dessert. Their stout was also very good. And for lunch today, I had my favorite - the (slightly) spicy chicken satay with thick noodles, and peanut sauce with peas/edamame and red onion. The staff is always so attentive, and with the high ceilings and cozy decor, you always feel welcome and valued customer. I'll be back next year! At least 4 times!

Fantastic place! We were able to park in the garage right by the restraunt which was nice. Nolan is a great host and made us feel welcome. Ashleigh was our waitress and helped us decide what to order. I had the Kata Roll and Oh My Gosh! It was heavenly! Bob got the poutine and said it was the best he has ever had. We got the crepes to go and they were also amazing. I love my margaritas with the mango popsicle. We will definitely be back next year when we are in town for the amazing John Ball Zoo Latern Festival! Thanks for a great experience!

Wonderful atmosphere, the waitress (Ashley) was extremely sweet, vegetarian options of a Spicy coconut curry. Also the garlic shrimp here was the best I’ve had in a long time. I was savoring every bite. Love love love it!!!!!

Holy crap 10/10!!! Food was delicious, gorgeous and unique atmosphere, fast service, friendly and enthusiastic servers!! I highly recommend the baja bliss fish tacos. Will come again next time I'm in GR!

If you enjoy variety and top-notch cuisine from around the world, this place is for you. We had a blast with dishes running from tacos, to kabobs, to poke bowls, to burgers and mushroom burgers. The flavors were excellent. Gluten-free and vegetarian options are available too. Enjoy!

First time checking out Roam and couldn’t be more impressed with my experience! The global cuisine concept is so clever and gives you a great variety of different options within your meal. The Hash Balls, Singapore Curry and Mango Sticky Rice (all pictured) were to die for. All of the staff, especially our server Allie (Ally?) were delightful! Allie was very friendly, informative and definitely sold us on the Pink Pony Club cocktail that she created! (Also pictured, and delicious!) Thank you Allie for making our experience that much better! We will definitely be back to explore the rest of the menu!
